100% Ask Encourage Online Giving Convenient – privacy and comfort of donor’s computer. Searching is Easy – finding charities is easy. Donors can search, sort and filter charities to find the ones that they feel deserve their dollars. Math is Made Simple: donors enter the amount per pay period and decide how much of their total annual donation goes to each charity. Accessibility: donors can log into their account at any time to view, print, or email information. It’s Green: pledging online means fewer pledge cards and charity lists need to be printed. Efficient: with perfect math, legibility and charity designations for current local charities, the CFC and payroll centers time to process pledge forms is greatly reduced.
